Cole Valley Christian School
Partnering with Christian families to shepherd and challenge our students toward their individual potential to impact the world for Christ.
Purpose
The only reason we exist is to serve Jesus Christ by developing the whole person through a Christ-centered education.
As Cole Valley endeavors to implement a Christian philosophy of education, this statement guides, focuses and directs everything we do.
We exist for one reason and one reason only: To serve our Lord.
We value serving God and His people including our students, parents, or one another.
We understand that all we do is enabled by Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit for the Glory of God the Father.
We develop each student’s body, mind, and spirit in hopes that they will impact a lost world for Jesus Christ.

Vision
At Cole Valley Christian Schools, we believe education is about more than academics—it’s about shaping hearts, minds, and lives for Christ. With exceptional teachers, a rigorous curriculum rooted in a biblical worldview, competitive athletics, and meaningful opportunities to serve, students are encouraged to grow, lead, and make a difference. Our Christ-centered community nurtures curiosity, cultivates character, and inspires courage to step into all that God has called them to be. We are committed to expanding minds, strengthening faith, and preparing students to boldly serve Christ in a rapidly changing world.
Mission
Partnering with Christian families to shepherd and challenge our students toward their individual potential to impact the world for Christ.
Partnership
We believe that God gave parents the responsibility to educate their children (Deut 4:9, 6:5-7; Psalm 78:5-8; Eph 6:4), and, therefore, we are serving parents by providing an education that aligns with their beliefs and values. We also believe that we are not a replacement for the Church, but rather a supplemental support in partnership with the Church for the equipping of our young people.
Shepherding and challenging
These two significant verbs create the foundation of our discipleship philosophy. We are very relational and believe in knowing our students as individual creations of the Lord. We love our students and guide them along their path. In addition, for us to fulfill our mission, we must know our students well enough to challenge them beyond their comfort zone, which we call the zone of proximal development.
Individual Potential
Each student has been gifted by God according to His grace. Therefore, each student has their own unique potential. The only way we unlock that potential is to know each student and the student’s family. School should not only be for a certain type of person or student who learns by one specific style. It is our mission that every student, regardless of how they have been gifted or how they learn, be shepherded and challenged to reach their individual potential.

Values
- Grace, Truth and Love
- We believe that our very existence depends on the unmerited favor bestowed on us by God through the death of Christ on the cross (Col. 2:13-14; Titus 3:4-7). We believe that the Bible is God’s Word (John 10:35; 2 Cor. 4:2; 2 Tim. 3:16), that God’s Word is truth (Ps. 119:160; John 17:17), and that knowledge of it is key to unleashing its transformational power (John 8:31-32). We believe that we are each called to love God with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves (Luke 10:27).
